Baths - IronworksBaths - No Eyes: The new album Obsidian is garnering critical praise, but I can't get in to it as deeply as everyone else seems to. Disclaimer aside, there is much chugging hazy beat pop action going on here.

Beck - I Won't Be Long: Before enjoying any new Beck song, we all need a moment of silence to pity his desent in to the madness that is Scientology. May he get free one day.

Console - Leaving A Century (Marek Hemmann Remix): Part of a new trough of remixes, this one is my favourite mintech workout.

Freddie Scott - (You) Got What I Need (Danny Massure edit): Another amazing beatfunk classic gets a sly edit so you can slip it in perfectly and educate the children.

Kabaka International Guitar Band - Mangala Special (Uproot Andy RMX): If you didn't pick it up, Uproot Andy's Worldwide Ting mixtape was the hottest thing releasest in a year and lo and behold, the hot singles are coming out to blow up dancefloors everywhere!

The Futureheads - Acapella (Kelis cover): What an odd choice: releasing Rant, an acapella album? Where they hell did that come from? Track included for perfect irony.

Wooden Wand - No Bed For Beatle Wand / Days This LongWooden Wand - Southern Colorado Song: When the lyrics don't start until 3 minutes in, that is MY KIND OF FOLK. Blood Oaths Of The New Blues didn't win me over as a whole, but my god these 2 tracks lick my socks off.

Yellow Ostrich - Elephant KingYellow Ostrich - Marathon RunnerYellow Ostrich - Stay At Home: Strange Land is an album where I wasn't in to the whole, but this selection of tracks from it melts my face in such an amazing way, I just want this to be a single and declare it the best thing of the year.

Young Galaxy - Hard To TellYoung Galaxy - Pretty BoyYoung Galaxy - Sleepwalk With Me: Ultramarine weaves another synth electro pop spell that is more sultry and simmering than in-your-face, as you might expect. This album continues to grow all over me.
